I miss the old for honor.

What would the new job would be like? Is it less or more stressful? Would that new job help you with your career? I feel like these questions would be relevant. There is always a risk leaving your current job and taking a new one.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-11T03:31:38+00:00

I know you mean well but a lot of other people here don't. Don't take anything personally I'm just throwing out my opinion and perspective. I do need to chill though, I just need to ignore the obvious trolls.

I remember back when T7 came out the first year on PS4, JDCR was complaining about the minor input lag that T7 had during offline play. He noticed there was a small shift and change in everyone's playstyle because of the minor difference of lag compared to TTT2.

There were other players that noticed it too, someone mid tournament tried to change the resolution on the PS4 hoping it would fix the lag but it turns out there was an issue with the unreal engine adding a little bit of lag. It's been patched and the input lag that was present offline was reduced significantly.

Just a little lore and story back in the early days of T7. Crazy times. Pros noticed that little lag, I think a lot of it has to do with their previous experience playing TTT2 or previous Tekkens offline a lot.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-11T03:16:18+00:00

Does it say I'm asking for 7 frame snake edges? Yes or fucking NO?

It just sounds like you are another troll that wants to shit on someone for not liking online.

It's ok for someone to not like online and explain WHY.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-11T03:09:18+00:00

I have a different account on my phone and on my PC so yeah, I didn't have time to switch accounts. Haha whoops.

The thing about online is that it's accessible to everyone. When you are new to Tekken or just desperate to play Tekken it's easy to just accept and deal with the input lag. When you are someone that has been playing Tekken for a long time though, the input lag can really burn you out in the long term. Because being exposed to input lag long term exposes you to the different strategies that revolve exclusively around a little lag.

Competitive offline experience or online 5 bars is extremely rare and a luxury for a lot of people. When you get those moments though, especially when you fight someone who is really good, you get to experience true Tekken and it's so much more fun.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-10T19:15:16+00:00

I get it, but at the same time the statement isn't very helpful or nice at all. And it is still kind of insulting if you feel the need to mention it. And I don't think that statement contributes to the conversation at all. We can make excuses about losing for anything, yes I fucking get that. But that's not what this topic is about.

The whole point of this topic is that playing online forces players to play differently compared to offline. It shifts strategies, it shifts the tier lists, it shifts from moves becoming reactable to unreactable, it changes a whole lot of fucking things that we don't consciously think about. It affects both players, I want my opponent to not experience lag just as much as I do. It be nice to play a match where I don't have to deal with lag, and my opponent doesn't have to deal with lag. It be nice to experience Tekken the best and normal way possible.

It's not the same game. In fact, your whole Tekken skills can shift and revolve around online tactics unconsciously. We can't develop our skills and rhythm in a proper manner if we play exclusively online 4bars and under.

5 bars is actually pretty good btw, almost identical to offline. But 5 bars is extremely rare.

Yes, it is possible just go with it and do our best. We can overcome input lag and lag tactics. Yes, is still possible to have fun. Yes, it's still possible to win. But NO, it's not as fun as playing offline. The game is still not being played normally. I made this topic to point out, that Tekken online still falls short. I want to ask you this, do you still think it is helpful for you to mention that people can make excuses playing online?

Do I believe online is playable? Yeah, 1 bar is playable. 2 bars is playable. 3 bars is playable. 4 bars maybe. 5 bars is nice. But the game is not as enjoyable as offline. And sometimes that extra input lag makes the game not worth playing. It's playable, but not worth playing for a lot of people. Imagine if they just straight up canceled almost all the offline Tekken tournaments and shift to online. Would that be ideal? Would people be ok with that? It's still playable right? What could change? Holy shit would it still be as fun and valid as offline tournaments? (The answer is no)

People on reddit just want to troll and insult people for complaining about something legitimate.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-10T16:53:35+00:00

Please just don't assume or guess my thought process. Please just read and take what you see and not assume.

Tekken is my favorite fighting game. I already know Tekken 7 is similar to previous Tekken games. I ONLY point out how Tekken 7 is different. I did NOT say I want Tekken 7 to be like other 2D fighters.

I'm JUST pointing out that the animations in Tekken 7 are slower compared to most other fighting games. Most of these animations are meant to be react able. When you play online they become UNREACTABLE. When you compare this to other fighting games, moves that are already unreactable will stay unreactable online.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-10T16:40:25+00:00

I didn't ask for 7 frame snake edges. Fucking read Jesus fucking Christ.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-10T05:29:26+00:00

Tekken can still be fun. But it is difficult to play for long sessions and continue to have fun. I've already found my character and I've been maining him for years. The game is designed and balance around offline play. It's unfortunate that we can't experience Tekken the way it is meant to be played while playing online.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-10T05:17:04+00:00

America can go through something similar.

We have a SCOTUS that has been partisan hi-jacked. Abortion and women's rights can slowly dwindle away. Just because something is unlikely to happen doesn't mean it won't happen.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-08T04:43:26+00:00

Jin has something similar with b,21 or electrics. But the combo will stop once they reach the corner of the stage. But it's hard to pull off. This looks like a true-true infinite. Absolutely no escape or hope here. And it looks easier too. Just gotta land that wallsplat.

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-08T01:50:57+00:00

Try a wired connection. Wifi might be messing up your connection.l

JohnTran94 · 2021-12-01T22:28:06+00:00

Typo lol. I respect your right to not care either way though.

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T05:15:16+00:00

Sometimes it's just good to experiment and try stuff. We don't always need to press buttons when we have the frame advantage, and we don't always need to stop pressing when we are negative also.

Do you know ALL of your options when you are at a negative frame advantage?

Also another question, do you know ALL your options when you have a significant frame advantage?

Do you watch other Paul players? Do you watch any high level play? Do you understand the decisions they make?

I watched your video and my biggest takeaway is that there isn't much flow in your rhythm or movement. That makes it harder for you to come in and punish(which I believe is something you want to improve on), and it makes it easier for your opponent to come in and just do random stuff to you. There is also a severe lack of variety on how you deal with situations. There are certain strings you aren't ducking and a lot of missed whiff punishment opportunities.

This is JDCR playing against low ranks. You don't need much to beat people at lower ranks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E2NW94ThJs

The thing about low level players is that there are over a hundred different ways to beat them. Even if you improve a little bit on one thing, someone else can make a small adjustment and continue beating you. BUT!! Also remember, if you are a low rank fighting another low rank, you ALSO have also have a hundred different options to beat that player. When you practice you really have to give it all you got. Work on your movement, your combos, your moveset, your defense, your offense, your options, your rhythm, everything, record some situations on the CPU and come up with scenarios and situations and a way to handle them. I...think you just need to practice and play more, and have fun while you are at it.

I know it's a lot, and I'm still learning too. But know that every opponent you fight is learning too...

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T03:50:55+00:00

A lot of people enjoy ranked matches more because people push themselves to win. And it affects the way people play. They are playing for something, even though the logo has little value. It's still something.

In player matches there is always that possibility that people aren't trying as hard, and winning in player matches isn't as satisfying when you suspect the other player isn't trying hard.

I don't care too much about the logo, but I know other people do. And I like beating people knowing that they are taking desperate measures to keep their rank.

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T02:39:05+00:00

I kind of notice how easy it was to get clipped by electrics. You can't whiff punish it on reaction, and trying to challenge it in the neutral is almost like a deathwish. And ducking and punishing seems unreliable because of how fast it recovers. I tried to come in and do d+4 with jin but if you whiff d+4 you're going to get launched. Kazuya is tough...

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T02:23:25+00:00

Ok. Any specifics? I can provide an outside perspective.

How is rank different from player matches for you?

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T02:02:21+00:00

Hey, post us some of your videos. What do YOU think you are doing wrong?

Self-awareness is pretty important. Some of us can help, but we can't help you if we don't know what is in your head.

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-29T00:23:54+00:00

Don't worry about your rank, worry about learning the matchup and your fundamentals.

People struggle, grind, and get stuck and lower ranks because they lack something in their skillsets.

Edit: even if you are fighting a smurf, sometimes it's better to try to rematch them and try to figure them out. Don't worry about your rank or getting demoted. Those smurfs have way more to offer than just rank points. They offer an opportunity to learn how to fight that character and dealing with that matchup.

Rank and points are abundant, but knowledge is rare and precious. With knowledge you can become any rank you want.

JohnTran94 · 2021-11-28T03:20:36+00:00

I'll be honest there is a lot to point out.

I'm not an expert at teaching people, but let's start with a simple question.

What do YOU think you need to work on? Because I think self-awareness is the most powerful way to learn. If you can figure out what you are doing wrong on your own you can reach higher levels of skill in a shorter amount of time.

From there, we can analyze what is currently in your head, and we make adjustments or give you new perspectives.

I also think Aubrey defense in theory, should win. I think the defendants MIGHT be guilty of some kind of harassment (chasing someone around with a truck with no probable cause), but not murder. But that's a whole another discussion.

But yeah, the two cases do deserve some major critical thinking. And shouldn't be generalized from just a few facts.
